Same problem. On top of all that I have little to no time to read ☹️
So I generally read multiple books at once (they help me engage with current projects) and by coincidence they're all really good right now, which is rare. Surprisingly mood-enhancing.

The Norton Library edition of my translation of the Iliad, with stylish red cover, is now available. It has complete text, maps, notes, introduction and translator's note, and it's yours for under $10 (as are many other tempting Norton Library volumes). wwnorton.com/books/978132...

We are now in an existential crisis for American science, 3 d into the new administration.
The proximal risk: without grant funding the biomedical economy collapses.
The lasting risk: American leadership in science falls. People leave science. Cures for cancer, Alzheimer’s, etc… are compromised.
